Refer back to the pizza-delivery Try It exercise. The mean delivery time is 36minutes and the population standard deviation is six minutes. Assume the sample size is changed to 50restaurants with the same sample mean.Find a 90% confidence interval estimate for the population mean delivery time.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The 90% confidence interval estimate for the population mean pizza delivery time is [34.604,37.396]

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given in the question that, the mean delivery time is 36minutes and the population standard deviation is six minutes, the sample size is changed to 50.

02

Explanation

The sample mean is 36minutes, that is x-, =36

The random sample of 50pizza delivery restaurants, that is, n=50

The standard deviation is 6, that is σ, =6

Then calculate the confidence interval using Tl-83calculator using the steps given below,

First, press STAT and use the arrow (?) to TESTS.

Then, press the arrow localid="1650526391305" ()to localid="1650526396394" 7:localid="1650526399908" Zinterval and press enter

Now, use the arrow localid="1650526404100" ()to STATS and press enter.

Then press the arrow (?) and enter the inputs as given below

Then press the arrow (?) to the calculator and press enter. The output is given below

A student polls his school to see if students in the school district are for or against the new legislation regarding school uniforms. She surveys 600students and finds that 480are against the new legislation.

a. Compute a 90% confidence interval for the true percent of students who are against the new legislation, and interpret the confidence interval.

b.In a sample of 300students,68% said they own an iPod and a smartphone. Compute a 97% confidence interval for the true percent of students who own an iPod and a smartphone.
